BulldogUK Posted May 27, 2011 Author Share Posted May 27, 2011 Pulled a bargain dread from ebay the other day for no particular reason other than it was cheap! Anyhow, figuring the Crimsons have their fare share of lumbering metal mayhem I decided to paint it up in the banana livery and add it to the ranks of the Imperial fists. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v429/BulldogUK/ImperialFistsDreadnought1.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v429/BulldogUK/ImperialFistsDreadnought2.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v429/BulldogUK/ImperialFistsDreadnought3.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v429/BulldogUK/ImperialFistsDreadnought4.jpg With every bargain the Banana men grow more powerful!!! http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v429/BulldogUK/ImperialFistsMay115.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/146242-crimson-ultrawings-a-chapter-is-born/page/9/#findComment-2772744 Share on other sites More sharing options...
One-eye Posted May 27, 2011 Share Posted May 27, 2011 Wow, just wow... This dread is awesome, I admire the simple yet very effective look. The weathering is perfect. You sir will inspire me for my own yellow-armor dudes. Thanks for that !

Imperial Monkey Posted May 27, 2011 Share Posted May 27, 2011 These are just fantastic, well done, I love the tanks with men hanging off them. And that shade of blue suits smurfs much better than anything GW has produced!

Psy-Crow Posted May 27, 2011 Share Posted May 27, 2011 Faultless as always, now stop messing around with yellow and get back to your sharks lol. I do love how your yellow changes its tone in different light settings. Could you tell me how you paint/highlight your metallics ?

facmanpob Posted May 27, 2011 Share Posted May 27, 2011 Fabulous! Although after 9 pages of goodness, my favourite is still Brian 'Terminator' Blessed from the first page ^_^ Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/146242-crimson-ultrawings-a-chapter-is-born/page/9/#findComment-2773042 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olis Posted May 27, 2011 Share Posted May 27, 2011 Fabulous! Although after 9 pages of goodness, my favourite is still Brian 'Terminator' Blessed from the first page :woot: Although everything so far is great, BRIAN THE TERMINATOR still stands out, if only because he's now (in my mind) unable to pontificate in a reasonable voice. "WE SHALL TELEPORT INTO THEIR MIDST." "Yes, Lord Brian." "WE SHALL SMITE OUR FOES." "Yes, Lord Brian..." "VICTORY!" "Shouldn't you be on the platform first?" "SILENCE, WHELP." :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/146242-crimson-ultrawings-a-chapter-is-born/page/9/#findComment-2773230 Share on other sites More sharing options...

BulldogUK Posted May 28, 2011 Author Share Posted May 28, 2011 Got a BNIB Stormraven under the table, as I scratched one up for the Greys I was gonna paint it up for the Crimson Ultrawings, however I am drawn towards the banana men I must admit! Psy-crow - As you know I never like to over complicate things when the basics suffice so my metalics are so so simple. Boltgun metal base, black wash and mithril silver highlights....that's it!!! I used to blend a little boltgun after the wash before the highlights but frankly I find the darker approach is much more asthetic and contrasts well against the colour, it works especially well against the bright silver of the Grey Knights I find Hehe, good old Blessed, I got him on the satnav now....HAWKMEN DRIIIIIVE!

BulldogUK Posted July 22, 2011 Author Share Posted July 22, 2011 Recently bought the Aegis defense line for the Autocannons to use on a Grey Knight DN, I absolutely hate wasting stuff so was at odds on what to use the remaining bases for, suddenly after seeing a toy 'Wall-E' in the local pound shop it struck me....classic Dawn of War objective markers! Have always liked the look of these things, the way those dishes stick out at random angles just looks funky With the aid of said toy, a few spare flying bases and a couple of bits from the parts box I came up with these simple offerings, great thing is I took the time to make casts so I have a unlimited supply of listening post objectives now...yay! http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v429/BulldogUK/ImperialListeningposts4.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v429/BulldogUK/ImperialListeningposts6.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v429/BulldogUK/ImperialListeningposts4.jpg Of course interaction is the key to a fun game in my eyes so I decided to magnetize the weapons so for instance a tech could hang around for a turn and upgrade the passive version to a fully automated defensive death dealing Imperial outpost! Passive version ready for any spare weapons I have knocking around! http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v429/BulldogUK/ImperialListeningposts7.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/146242-crimson-ultrawings-a-chapter-is-born/page/9/#findComment-2826051 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grimdarkness Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 How dare you have fun with the fluff on your models. They look great well done. Tamiya blue works well for either the ultra and the crimson fist.

BulldogUK Posted November 3, 2011 Author Share Posted November 3, 2011 This chaps been mocking me in it's unpainted form for ages now so I finally decided to punish it with the a little paint! Figured some nice bright colours are always welcome so it became a Banana boat for the Imperial Bananas http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v429/BulldogUK/ImperialFistStormraven7.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v429/BulldogUK/ImperialFistStormraven1.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v429/BulldogUK/ImperialFistStormraven2.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v429/BulldogUK/ImperialFistStormraven3.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v429/BulldogUK/ImperialFistStormraven4.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v429/BulldogUK/ImperialFistStormraven5.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v429/BulldogUK/ImperialFistStormraven6.jpg Turning into quite a nice little assault force really! http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v429/BulldogUK/ImperialFistStormraven8.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/146242-crimson-ultrawings-a-chapter-is-born/page/9/#findComment-2915445 Share on other sites More sharing options...
